The NAACP has named former House of Representatives clerk Lorraine Miller as interim president and CEO of the 104-year-old, Baltimore-based civil rights organization.

Miller, an NAACP board member, steps in to preliminarily replace Benjamin Todd Jealous, the organization's youngest president and CEO, who announced in September that he would step down effective the end of the year to spend more time with his wife and two children.
